Connecting first Tracking device

Agents, Protocols and APIs
1

Hi Everyone,

I have read through the documents in regards to connecting the first device, and I cannot seem to find the instructions I need.

Can I receive instructions on how to connect the first device using TCP please.

This has been configured in “Master” in the Manager UI.
(Please note the Quotes have not been entered for manual typed parameters).

So far;

  • I have pointed the device to the IP address of the Platform and Port 29050, which the port has been opened on the platform.

  • I have created the TCP Agent, in which I entered “localhost”

  • I have ticked the messageConvertHex option (Boolean Type)

  • I have set the port to 29050

As a result, the agentStatus Connection status had changed automatically to CONNECTING.

Can you advise on what I need to do next please.

Thank you in advance,
Michael

Hi,

Agents are generally for connecting to devices/services from the manager not the other way around.

There is the AbstractTcpServerAgent that can be used as a base for creating a concrete implementation of a TCP server for allowing devices to connect and you then define how to process the data using Netty handlers.
